Cisco Systems has been known to be synonymous with a quality that is higher than other networking hardware so much that other businesses have incorporated this hardware into their network. The Cisco brand features a lengthy product lifetime and is a great investment as it can be sold again as a means to reimburse a part of the initial cost. The Cisco brand offers many types of hardware, the most popular would be the Cisco memory and Cisco cables.

Companies have many reasons surrounding why they discard of similar hardware so regularly. Redundant equipment no longer functions as it should, making its salvaged or recycled raw materials equivalent to small sums of cash. Many companies are however opting to either upgrade or downsize the business and in this case, the hardware they sell is still functioning quite well even if it isn’t needed as an important aspect of the network.

CEO Kevin Johnson said those results for the enterprise business represent “a starting point for a level of momentum” Juniper believes it can achieve in that market.

“Our vision of the data center architecture of the future is resonating,” Johnson said in a conference call with analysts. Johnson added that the IBM-branded Juniper products offered under a recent OEM arrangement are now available.

Juniper’s EX LAN switching line, which debuted in the first half of last year, accounted for $50 million in sales in the quarter and is on a $200 million annual run rate. The MX series Ethernet router, deployed mostly in carrier networks but also in some enterprise data centers, is on a $400 million annual run rate. The MX debuted in 2006.

The SRX firewall, which was unveiled a year ago, is on a $100 million annual run rate. Together, the EX, MX and SRX product lines accounted for $180 million of Juniper’s $634 million in product revenue in the quarter.

“We are executing better, and that’s coming mainly from the US,” Johnson said of the enterprise results in the quarter. Sales were particularly strong in the US federal government marketplace.

“We will continue to throttle up execution globally. We’re share takers in the enterprise market, we’ve got a lot of upside. As the economy improves, enterprise investments will improve, but at a slower rate than service providers.

“The level of buzz with customers in the enterprise continues to grow,” Johnson added. “It’s indicative of our opportunity. But we’ve got to execute and engage with customers.”

Juniper experienced increased sales of its Service Layer Technology products – traditionally enterprise security and WAN acceleration gear – to service providers in Q3 as well. SLT revenue was a record for the quarter at $229 million, Denholm said, an increase of $11 million from 2008’s Q3.

In general, Juniper sees the economy and its business improving.

“Our visibility has improved in key areas of our business,” Johnson said. “We’re in an economic recovery. The pace varies across geographies” with improvements domestically, stabilization in Asia and a slower uptick in Europe.

For the fourth quarter, Juniper expects revenue of $860 million to $895 million, and earnings per share in the 23 cents to 26 cents range.
